"End lobbyists and close the revolving door between Washington and Wall Street," said Warren. "You play for one team or the other you can't play for both at the same time."

In a packed room at the Iowa Memorial Union, Warren called out for better financial aid for American students.

"The student loan debt is snowballing by a hundred million dollars a year," said Warren.

It's something that pricked up the ears of younger voters at the University of Iowa.

"I know a lot of people that are taking out tens of thousands of dollars in loans for this school to get an education that they need to have to live a successful life here in America," said University of Iowa student Joseph Verry. "I think that's important for me to hear about as a hopeful candidate."

In her stump speech, Warren also hit on topics ranging from health-care, global warming, to Trump's goal of a more expansive border wall with Mexico.

Trump tweeted this after hearing Warren's announcement Saturday morning: "Today Elizabeth Warren, sometimes referred to by me as Pocahontas, joined the race for President. Will she run as our first Native American presidential candidate, or has she decided that after 32 years, this is not playing so well anymore? See you on the campaign TRAIL, Liz!"

Warren said she's not giving in to the president's jabs.

"The question now is: 'Are we going to follow him on every single racist insult and taunt that he tweets or are we going to take back this conversation in America?' Talk about what is broken, talk about a better future for America," said Warren.

Warren said she's running to do more than just topple Trump. With the candidacy pool growing larger by the week, some voters might need more time to mull who should lead the Democratic ticket.
